it is friday. almost the weekend. you are watching "fox & friends first" this friday morning. >> i am heather childers. thank you so much for starting your day with us. two of the u.s. olympic swimmers linked to the rio mugging scandal are heading back to the u.s. >> they boarded a flight bound for miami late last night after giving statements to police. >> they fil criminal charges against fellow teammates ryan lochte and feegan saying the robbery story is a lie. >> here's the headline this morning from the new york post. liar, liar, speedo on fire. the swimmer version of the story is a brand new story. jimmy fegan is giving a revised

statement to a judge in rio. they are showing video of swimmers at a gas station where the swimmers trashed the bathroom. gas station employees said they took down this door and vandalized this room inside. here are photos of a damaged sandwich sign which according to tmz caused the gas station owner to demand more than $400 in cash from the swimmers. you can see one appear to pull out his wallet and hand an employee money. one thing you don't see, any sort of firearm. all four are saying the gas station ended out 3 minutes of video that would have shown them being held at gun point. there is video of the athletes sitting on a curb some of them putting their hands up. lock tee shown pulling something out of his pocket and handing it to a man in black. the time line, the swimmers

started new surveillance images catching them around 5:45 even though they claim they were lle 4:00. they finally reached olympic village around 7:00 a.m. the swimmers say the video still backs up their story. but tmz's harvey levin says it's not that simple. >> ryan roclochte's problem i tk was a pretext of the whole thing was a lie. the preparticulatext they are d along a man thinks they are a police officer holds them up. the prosecutors could make the different argument. a brazilian judge has to stop the indictment or drop the case. lochte is not required to return to face charges. the max punishment for fegan

will be imprisonment but he will likely pay a fine. a statement from the u.s. olympic committee saying quote the behavior of these athletes is not acceptable. we will further review the matter and any potential consequences for the athletes when we return to the united states. >> this is a case of a coverup being worse than the crime. >> lochte gate. >> loch ness. >> well tdonald trump apologizig for remarks that may have hurt feelings as he repairs to head to flood savaged louisiana this morning. the commander-in-chief under fire for not cutting his

vacation short. so is hillary. >> the trump campaign staff overalcohol seemed to confirm the nominee will use the same sometimes blunt rhetoric. instead trump offered an apology. >> you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. i have done that and, believe it or not, i regret it, particularly where it may have caus caused personal pain. too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues, but one thing i can promise you this, i will always tell you the truth. >> in response the clinton campaign called the trump statement a forced teleprompter

apology. mike pence will travel tol louisiana to look at flood damage. more than a dozen have died and dozens are living in shelters. this as the louisiana paper an advocate called on an opinion piece causing him to leave as well. president bush's 2005 fly over of louisiana after hurricane katrina. president obama has declared a state of emergency in louisiana. that makes federal funding available to the affected areas. homeland security chief j johnson observed recovery efforts in louisiana. heather and abby, back to you. >> rich, thank you. >> speaking in my home town of charlotte, north carolina last night. >> okay. the trump campaign is doing something it has never done before running tv campaign ads for the general election. spending nearly $5 million

turning the battle ground states of ohio and pennsylvania. his rival already spent 60 million in advertisements since becoming the democratic nominee. the clinton ads are not the only attacks the trump campaign needs to worry about. a hacker targeted their campaign computer system through mal ware sent to a staffer. that hacker sending malicious e-mails to colleagues. the campaign hired a security firm to examine the software. russia may be responsible because it resomebles alleged russian attacks. >> these changes could be coming to the clinton foundation if hillary becomes president. her husband bill clinton s announcing he would step down from the board would stop accepting money from foreign leaders and corporations. the move a way to avoid conflict of interest. it has chrritics asking why wouldn't they do this while hillary was secretary of state.

correct? >> that's correct. >> obama repeatedly denied it was ransom two weeks ago. >> we did not pay ransom. we didn't here and we won't in the future. if we did we would start encouraging americans to be targeted. >> our commander-in-chief also describing the danger of setting such a precedent which critics say is now a reality. >> this is not good for americans overseas. there is now a price on their head. our enemies, north korea and others are saying if we have an american we can get something for it whether it is cash or priz frsoner prisoners. that is a poor point. >> 4 million was also given to the arm core terrorist organization. >> jackie ibanez.

out the next dpu days. we have combust which winds in place yellow fire danger and warnings have been issued from california to washington state all of the way to oregon. that is something to watch out for. we expect the threat to remain elevated over the next several days. dry conditions, rainfall across new mexico, montana but no rain across parts of the west where we need the rain to help with the piled fire effort. middle 90's for a city like seattle. showers and storms across texas, louisiana and southeast. the forecast is for it to stay relatively light. >> 90's for seattle. that is unusual.

could he be extradited back? >> we have an extradition treaty with brazil. doesn't mean someone automatically gets step back. a legal framework exists to potentially send someone back. it only applies to specific crimes. doesn't accuse lying about an incident. it only aplays to things like murder, rape. unlikely he will be sent back to brazil. we are told that feigen may have to pay $11,000 to a brazilian charity. >> just like with the u.s. if it is a first arrest if it is not a particularly serious crime he can a incarceration and long-term probation he can pay a fine. he wants to get out of brazil so he wants to get out as quickly as possible. >> the biggest problem in all of this it is because ryan lochte lied to his mother.
